looking for dried catnip, for catnip pillows

I am looking for good quality dried catnip, for catnip pillows I'm making to sell to benefit our struggling animal shelter. I've given up trying to grow catnip myself because the local kitties get to it before I can pick it and dry it! Does anyone know any good sources for buying some? The stuff you can buy at pet stores is ancient looking, like dried chopped weeds and sticks, and expensive to boot. I was able to buy some lovely stuff last year but I can't seem to reach the vendor now. Please help!!

Thanks, Thea

How much do you need? I have a little bit that I have dried from my garden and it is organic.

Karri_Sue, that is very sweet of you! But I would need a pound of it, which is quite a bit! I know there are herb businesses out there that sell it, I was hoping someone knew of one and could vouch for them. Thanks very much, you're very kind!!

I've bought other herbs from San Francisco Herb Co. and been pleased but I don't know about their catnip.

scroll to bottom of page to see bulk listings
never ordered from them, i just grow my own.
but found this page a few years ago and bookmarked it.
